Nairobi —Pastor James Ng’ang’a has publicly addressed the recent online claims that his Neno Evangelism Centre in Nairobi was demolished.
The preacher spoke directly to his followers in a video shared on social media, reassuring them about the state of his church.

Rumours began circulating after visuals of what appeared to be a bulldozer tearing down a building were widely shared across platforms.

Some posts suggested the pastor’s church had been demolished to make space for development near the Nairobi Railway Station. The images caused concern among online users and some of his supporters.

“There Is No Church That Has Been Demolished”

In his response, Pastor Ng’ang’a made it clear that the church building still stands. He said people had called him with sympathy after seeing the viral video.

“People have been calling me, some even sympathising with me, because the church has been demolished. There is no church that has been demolished; the church has not been demolished.”

He repeated that point to reassure members and followers. He stressed that the building had not been taken down and that there was no cause for alarm.

A Touch of Sarcasm in His Response

Pastor Ng’ang’a spoke about the situation with a hint of sarcasm. He said even if the church was destroyed, he would not be afraid.

“Even if the church were to be demolished, it is not my kiosk. If it will be demolished, that is not something that will worry me because there is nowhere you can defend God.”

His tone shifted between reassurance and challenge, reflecting both confidence in his faith and a dismissal of the online panic that had built up.

On the Government and His Land

The pastor also touched on questions about the land where the Neno Evangelism Centre sits. There have been longstanding disputes over land around the railway reserve, with some suggesting the state might reclaim parts of it.

The uproar began when images and videos showing a heavy machine near a church structure were shared with captions claiming that Neno Evangelism Centre was being cleared.

But Pastor Ng’ang’a pushed back against suggestions that authorities were moving against his church.

“I bought that land from the Central Bank, which is the government. Kenya Railways is also the government. If they did some fishy business between them, then let them mind their own business.”

Those posts quickly spread on Tuesday, 20 January 2026, drawing reactions from Kenyans on social media.

However, several fact‑checks and official clarifications suggested the pictures were misleading and likely created using artificial intelligence. There was no verified evidence that the pastor’s church had been demolished.

Church Still Standing and Operational

Despite the online debate, checks and recent imagery show that the Neno Evangelism Centre building remains intact in its location.

The church continues its regular services, and there has been no official notice from authorities about any demolition plan.

Broader Context

This is not the first time Pastor Ng’ang’a has been in the spotlight. He has attracted both support and criticism over past incidents, including comments during sermons and viral moments involving church members.

But the recent clarification focused solely on the rumour of a demolition that never happened.

For now, Neno Evangelism Centre remains open and active, and pastor Ng’ang’a’s video serves as the latest statement in a long series of engaging moments that keep his ministry in the public eye.
